I did change the type of the partitions on both disks to fd linux raid autodetect. When i rebooted in to the live CD i gave it the mdadm -A /dev/md3 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 it found both drives and brought them up. I was then able to mount the array. In my kernel config file i do have CONFIG_MD_RAID1 set to Y. I've just tried compiling a genkernel and got the same error when i tried to load it. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Pappin [mailto:npappin@latahfcu.org] Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 5:12 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] software raid, mdadm is not finding disks A couple of things when you reboot into the live cd you need to tell mdadm to assemble the drive /dev/md3 with the command mdadm -A /dev/md3 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3. As for the booting problem i think it may be that you are missing a driver did you put the md raid 1 driver into the kernel. Last Neil has a point when you ran fdisk did you change the partition type to auto detect raid. -- W.
